Orange Crush is
an
orange-flavored
soft drink (see
orange soda)
invented by J.
M. Thompson of
Chicago in 1906.
The drink
quickly became
popular and was
widely available
throughout the
US. Since the
mid-20th
century,
however, the
availability of
Orange Crush has
decreased
considerably.
The Crush brand
and trademark
are presently
owned by Doug
Stilring and
Dennis Heshka,
who market the
soft drink in
cans and bottles
chiefly in the
southeastern
United States,
where it is sold
in most
supermarkets.
Crush is also
popular in
Canada, where it
is distributed
by Cadbury
Beverages
Canada. Crush
has the #1
Orange, Grape
and Cream Soda
in Canada, and
still remains a
Top 10 Brand. It
is distributed
by various Pepsi
bottlers, the
biggest being
The Pepsi
Bottling Group
Canada. |
